Chapter 918 60+ Triple-Double!
The ball hit the edge of the basket and popped out. Tang Tian successfully predicted the landing point and turned around to grab a long rebound.
His 7th rebound!
Whiteside was so angry that he slapped the bench off the court. It would have been better if Tang Tian didn't get a triple-double with this data. If he got a triple-double, it would be a 50+ triple-double!
Not only was he slapped in the face, but it was also swollen!
Tang Tian continued to break through with the ball in the frontcourt. His layup was blocked by Smith and Tristan Thompson, but he reacted quickly and took off the second time to tip the ball into the basket.
52 points, 8 rebounds and 12 assists!
Tang Tian was only 2 rebounds away from completing his sixth consecutive triple-double!
Whiteside couldn't sit still. At the beginning of this quarter, Tang Tian continued to grab rebounds as he did when he came back in the second half.
He took the initiative to get up and walk to Lu's side, asking for help.
Lue didn't know what Whiteside was thinking at the moment, but he had no rebounds in this period and he really needed Whiteside.
"Don't worry about Tang, protect the restricted area."
He specifically warned before putting Whiteside on the court.
After warning him, he was still worried, so he turned around and called James up again.
The Cavaliers finally managed to close the point difference to less than 5 points and could not let the Pelicans widen the point difference.
After James came on the court, he drove to the basket and forced Jokic and Ariza to take a foul.
One thing he has in common with Tang Tian is that as a star at the beginning of the century, although his methods are different, his goal is still to win.
Still a difference of 2 points.
The Pelicans attacked again, Lu shouted and gestured from the sidelines, and the Cavaliers directly used a BOX-1 tactic that is rare in the league!
The so-called BOX-1 tactic is a defensive method of the highest standard with one person as the main defender and four people as assisting defenders.
This defensive method, a tactic frequently used in primary school leagues, is aimed at tactics in low-level matches where the number of opponents who can play is limited.
Before this, the NBA almost never existed.
It can be seen that when Tang Tian scored 52 points in just over three quarters, Lu didn't want him to score anymore.
Tang Tian saw this tactic at a glance. He reacted quickly enough and immediately passed the ball to Jokic under the basket, who easily scored a layup.
This tactic is ridiculous in the face of his passing ability.
James' sudden score in the frontcourt, Dellavedova's point guard missed a three-pointer, and there was a hand-to-hand battle under the basket. Tang Tian once again used accurate judgment to win the rebound.
His 9th rebound!
50+ triple-doubles, 6 consecutive triple-doubles are just around the corner!
After Tang Tian got the rebound, he advanced to the frontcourt. The Cavaliers also used the BOX-1 tactic. This time, Tang Tian passed the ball to Holiday, and Holiday passed it to Davis. Davis took a step and dunked with both hands. Score.
Tang Tian's strength reflects the fact that the other players on the Pelicans are not that strong, but if you really want to pick them out individually, their strength is also at the forefront of the league.
This BOX-1 is really funny.
After being easily scored by the Pelicans, the Cavaliers' morale was dampened and they were unable to execute tactics on the offensive end. Irving's strong three-pointer also missed the frame.
Tang Tian saw the right spot and went to grab the rebound. Whiteside saw it and stretched out his hand, losing his balance and sending the racket flying out of the court.
He was trying his best to stop Tang Tian.
However, the ball went out of bounds, the ball rights were exchanged, and the Cavaliers' two consecutive attacks failed.
Returning to the defensive end, Lu gave up the BOX-1 tactic.
As soon as he gave up, Tang Tian hit a sudden stop and fell back against James, scoring his 54th point of the game.
54 points, 9 rebounds, 13 assists and 4 steals.
Fans on the hotline have slowly begun to realize something.
If Tang Tian can score a few more points, if he can get another rebound, then he will complete a record-breaking 60+ triple-double!
That's a harder stat to pull off than a quadruple-double because it really requires a lot of ball-handling.
The closest in history is Chamberlain, who scored a super triple-double of 53 points, 32 rebounds and 14 assists against the Lakers in 1968.
This is also the most scoring triple-double in NBA history.
Now Tang Tianzhen is really close to this record.
At this time, both sides gradually replaced their main players, and the intensity of the game on the field was also increasing.
After the confrontation, the touch of both teams was declining, and it became difficult to increase points.
There was a try with about two minutes left before the end of the game. The score on the court was 113 to 110, and the Pelicans still held a 3-point lead.
Tang Tian's statistics reached 57 points, 9 rebounds, 15 assists and 4 steals.
As long as he scores 3 more points and 1 rebound, he will set a new NBA record!
However, it was difficult for both teams to score during this period.
Tang Tian passed the ball to Ariza, but the latter's three-pointer missed. Davis grabbed the offensive rebound and gave it to Tang Tian. Tang Tian made a sudden stop and was double-teamed but failed to make the shot.
Looking back, the same goes for the Cavaliers. James' layup after the confrontation with Jokic was directly blocked by Davis' help defense.
In the last minute or so, both sides fell into a scoring drought, and the balance of victory began to tilt toward the leading Pelicans.
The fans at the scene were unwilling to give in, and neither were the Cavaliers players.
Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, the Cavaliers played high-intensity defense, and Davis turned back and hit the frame at the last moment.
Whiteside stuck Jokic at this time, but Jokic also held him back.
The rebound flew toward Love.
Love reached out to get the most critical defensive rebound.
But just when he was about to hit the rebound, Tang Tian suddenly swooped over desperately, knocked the ball out of the court, and then flew in the air to save the ball.
The ball was saved and returned to Jokic's hands!
A priceless rebound!
Tang Tian's 10th rebound!
At the same time, Tang Tian's game data was displayed on the LED screen.
57 points, 10 rebounds, 15 assists, 4 steals and 1 block!
He has already scored 50+ triple-doubles!
And the 57-point difference also surpassed Chamberlain, and he became the owner of the most triple-doubles!
The moment Whiteside saw the ball being recovered, his eyes were filled with despair.
Tang Tian completed a triple-double, and it was a large triple-double!
The last time he was hit on the left side of his face, this time he stretched out his right cheek and was hit, and it was swollen!
After Tang Tian saved the ball, he fell into the arms of the photographer under the basket, shocking the Pelicans fans into a cold sweat.
Fortunately, he was okay and ran back to the court after getting up.
Jokic reacted quickly and gave the ball to Tang Tian immediately.
There are only more than 40 seconds left before the end of the game. As long as the Pelicans score another goal, the game will end early.
Even if they fail to score and run out of time, they are still invincible with a 3-point lead.
Giving the ball to Tang Tian at this time is the best and most stable choice.
Jokic's passing quality was very good. Tang Tian caught the ball and knew the time, but he did not move to the outside.
Because Whiteside was in a daze at the basket, James had already helped defend him!
Shumpert, who was closest to him now, was also two meters away.
He chose to take the shot, and he was completely confident with this kind of ball.
Delaying time is the wisest choice, but throwing the ball in is the most direct way!
After Shumpert saw it, he rushed out and threw his whole body towards Tang Tian.
Tang Tian's cylinder was severely violated, and the referee's whistle sounded.
But he finally threw the ball!
The ball drew a high parabola in the air, and everyone on the scene watched with bated breath.
"Uh-huh!"
